...using games, visual worksheets, or multi-media as tools, I strive to tailor my approach to the learning styles and interests of each student. For me, I can get excited teaching almost any subject because I am most passionate about helping students learn how to be better learners, so that as they encounter future material that is seemingly boring or too challenging they will be equipped with the skills to engage confidently on a path to...

...they are able to fully apply it. That being said, practice is very important, especially with the more fundamental building blocks of computation and algebra. Outside of tutoring, I am a very busy guy with many hobbies. I am a performer in a locally renown improv comedy troupe; I am an actor in short films and theatre; I play video games; I read science fiction and fantasy novels. I am also a large consumer of...

...compete in academic decathlons. I later on took just about every AP class under the sun, became a National Merit semifinalist, and dipped my feet in too many majors in college--from English, to film, to chemistry, and finally, neuroscience.
You could call me a natural born nerd, but I like to consider myself a Renaissance student--one with too much knowledge in different areas and nowhere to put it. That is, until I discovered tutoring. I have...

I grew up in Orange County and attended Oxford Academy for junior high and high school. I received my undergraduate education at UC Santa Barbara, where I completed a double major in Asian Studies (with emphasis in Chinese) and Law and Society. In addition to the double major, I also have a minor in Classics (Greek/Roman literature, culture, history and Latin). I genuinely love learning - learning for myself and helping others learn - and...

I gained extensive experience teaching children, youth, and adults in both classroom and informal environments as a Peace Corps Volunteer. I prefer using interactive lessons rather than teaching directly from a book. I am highly adaptable to the needs of individual students and am happy to modify lesson plans to best fit the learning style of the student. I have an excellent command of written and spoken Spanish, as demonstrated by my ACTFL certification as...

I love getting to know new students and being creative about the ways I can help them understand new concepts and make connections. Outside of tutoring and acting, I am an avid hiker, swimmer, movie-watcher,...

I graduated in 2009 from Yale University with a BA in Art. After studying, working, and traveling throughout Europe, I am now back in Los Angeles working in animation and making art in my spare time. I have tutored students in math, English, and art. I've also been an assistant teacher for art classes, mentored high school students on their path to entering college, and helped with SAT preparation, college application essays, and portfolios. My...

...motivation for success in education. I graduated in three years, Summa Cum Laude, from Point Loma Nazarene University and I hold a bachelor's degree in Liberal Studies and two teaching credentials (Multiple Subject and Single Subject in Math). I have experience tutoring students from kindergarten to seniors in high school. I would love to be your next tutor!

...they are more likely to DO the work and practice their skills. And practicing and doing the work, of course, results in real improvement. Then when students see improvement and experience clarity, their confidence grows. And thus, the cycle of confidence and improvement strengthens and continues. I am a creative at heart, so I would like help students facilitate find their own unique voice in whatever they do. I'm a writer and performer, and I...

Vinaya

...will never stop being a student and thus can relate to the struggles we all face when learning new things. I believe that the one-on-one system of tutoring is the best way to learn because personalized attention is so important, but majorly lacking in education today. I have a passion for Chemistry and Math, subjects I think are very applicable in the everyday world. More than anything, I try to make what I am tutoring...
